The fulfillment of the 2 dreams which God has given to Joseph

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

 

The 2 dreams given by God to show Joseph what would come:

 

Genesis 37

 

5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

 

6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:

 

7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

 

8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.

 

9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

 

10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

 

11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

God does not allow any of HIS words to fall to the ground.

 

The fulfillment of the dreams God gave to Joseph:

 

Genesis 37:6-7  (Dream # 1)  Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:  For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

 

Joseph's brothers come down into Egypt to buy corn during the 7 year famine.

 

Fulfillment of Dream # 1

 

Genesis 42

 

1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?

 

2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.

 

3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.

 

4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.

 

5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

 

6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.

 

7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.

 

8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.

 

9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.

 

10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.

 

11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.

 

12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.

 

13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.

 

14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:

 

15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.

 

16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.

 

17 And he put them all together into ward (prison) three days.

 

18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:

 

19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:

 

20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

 

21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.

 

22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.

 

23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.

 

24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.

 

25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.

 

26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.

 

27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.

 

28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?

 

29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,

 

30 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.

 

31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:

 

32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

 

33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:

 

34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.

 

35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.

 

36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.

 

37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.

 

38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

Dream # 2:  Genesis 37

 

9 And he (Joseph) dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

Fulfillment of dream # 2:  

 

1 And the famine was sore in the land.

 

2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.

 

3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

 

4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:

 

5 But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

 

 

11 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:

 

12 And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:

 

13 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:

 

14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.

 

15 And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

 

16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.

 

17 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

 

18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

 

19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,

 

20 And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:

 

21 And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.

 

22 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.

 

23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.

 

24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.

 

25 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.

 

26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.

 

27 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?

 

28 And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
